An inordinate amount of time spent showing Poongadi in a soliloquy at a temple. In the end, she pretends that Kailash is prsent (because he is there in her heart, don't you know) and ties a taali on herself.
At the hospital, Kailash is sitting outside, dropped off to sleep after sitting up all night. Deepa emerges to hand him a flask to get coffee from the hotel. After some initial coolness on his part, she explains that she should really fall in love with him, but persona circumstances prevent her from doing so. Finally she says lovingly, lightly touching his arm, "give me time". He is walking on air.
Mohini gets a call on her cell phone. The caller is the guy who threw acid at her. She addresses her as "Hi Baby", the way her father does. He says he missed the previous time, but in ten days he will try once more. She asks him who paid him to do this, and goes through a list of suspects. He rejects each one and the himself adds, "You've said everyone's name but left out your father...". She is devastated at the idea that her father would be behind this. At that point Muthukumar walks in. She says it is the acid guy. He grabs the phone, but the fellow has disconnected. She tells Muthukumar what the guy said, and Muthukumar denies it, but unconvincingly. Mohini suspects him now.
